I caught yet another this weekend. It seems almost every large mouth I’ve caught recently has red eyes

Bugs require moisture and from what I've seen of the Midwest, there is no lack of moisture. You're in a good area!!!

Dream job?? Winning the bassmaster classic! 5 or 6 of the guys I graduated college with are game wardens. I never had a desire for that job, I do wildlife damage control and guide fly fishing on weekends (which has caused me to hate trout and fly fishing that I once enjoyed haha)

When I make a list of coaches I would want to have With a lead in the Super Bowl, Kyle Shanahan is at the very bottom of the list. Congrats to the Chiefs on breaking the 50 year drought

@Boomstick, those places sound awesome!

My girlfriend has saturdays off now and agreed to go fishing as long as it was in the pretty mountains. Good call as we caught several fish in 3 hours, mmmmm fried perch. Water temp 48, caught with tube, spoon, drop shot/worm and gulp minnow on jig head

Bass resource very own @James Niggemeyer

mango....... stay.......

Setback alert. Relapse! My girlfriend wanted to go to steak and shake...... wild Friday night

I don’t expect LSU to get in any trouble, nobody ever seems to (cough except Bruce pearl cough)

all dirt cheap and easily replaced. In the boat and ready to go bassin on a budget at a moments notice

LSU just hands it out in front of Tv cameras and makes “strong $&) offers” to high school kids on FBI wire taps

That’s the good thing about cage traps, if you catch a non target you just let them go. The only problem is it’s darn near impossible to get a fox coyote bobcat or mink to walk into a cage. I know an old timer that I usually refer those type jobs to

I don’t necessarily think of it as challenge vs enjoyment, rather challenge + enjoyment. I also like to challenge myself to stay out of the grocery store by eating fish that I catch. You can learn a lot from people that are meat fishing, they typically won’t fish where they might get skunked

I love B-Latt's channel! I wouldn't say the fish is secondary to anything. To borrow a quote from Zona, the fish itself was, is, and always will be the star of the show. No fish= no show

Yes. Even with a nuisance permit, relocating a fox is a no no

Plenty of pelts are still worth money but you will lose a lot of money trying to make it. I know one guy that sells skunk essence for $10/oz . I’m usually trapping around people’s yards or roofs so we mainly use cages and release any animals that we legally can.

I was considering starting a trapping thread since it's my job, maybe a daily catch pics/story thread? Let me know what y'all think, I've already caught a skunk today and scared a squirrel out of hole in someone's siding. No kidding this squirrel is living in the corner of a bedroom of a vacant house on the carpet, here's a picture of the nest. And an attic fan that a squirrel had been getting in though. We build and install covers for these after the squirrels and raccoons have been trapped
